APSCC Confident Asian Governments Will Protect C-band

Asian governments will likely stand with the satellite industry in defending a “no change” stance toward the reallocation of C-band — such is the hopeful expectation of the Asia Pacific Satellite Communications Council (APSCC), a non-profit international association of public and private satellite entities. The pressing return of the World Radiocommunication Conference this year, designated WRC-15, will bring together industry, governments and regulators to decide on spectrum issues, with conclusions regarding C-band (3.4 to 4.2 GHz) forming the crux of satellite industry concerns.
